This year, multifamily housing starts nationally are on pace to hit their lowest levels since 2014, a period marked by the national economy’s gradual recovery from the Great Financial Crisis. Year to date, multifamily deliveries have exceeded starts by 218,500 units, creating a substantial shortfall that signals a significantly reduced apartment supply by 2026.
